Arrange Baby Furniture in the Nursery - Determine which wall in the room receives the least amount of noise from the outside of the home and from other interior rooms. Place the crib against this wall, so that the baby will be less likely to wake up during naps due to noise. Ensure that you do not place the crib close to a window or air vents to keep baby away from outside light sources and from any drafts.
Place the infant's changing table alongside the most convenient area adjacent to the door. This will allow for quicker changes when mom and dad bring baby in from other rooms.
Arrange Baby Furniture in the Nursery
Place baby's dresser near the changing table. With the changing table nearby, the parents can easily reach baby's clean clothes during changes.
Find an adequate area, 3 to 4 feet from the baby's crib, to place the rocking chair. You will want to leave enough room to walk between the crib and the rocking chair but also have the chair close enough so that baby can be easily laid in the crib once he falls asleep.
Place nightstands and tables away from the crib, so that once crawling and standing, baby cannot reach any items resting on the tabletops.
Preparing for the birth of a baby is a joyous occasion; picking out baby clothes, taking birthing classes and decorating baby's room can keep the expectant parents blissfully busy throughout the duration of the pregnancy. One of most time-consuming tasks may actually be decorating the nursery and deciding how to arrange each piece of baby's furniture. Placement of nursery furniture can be based off personal preference, aesthetic predilection and general best placement tactics. Does this Spark an idea? - by eHow
